Description: Most of our most serious global challenges are complex, multi-faceted "wicked problems." But perhaps the first step in solving wicked problems as seemingly distinct as racism and disease epidemics is the same: reform our laws, policies, and priorities to achieve global water security. Each chapter of this book takes up one of these wicked problems, illustrates the role water plays in that problem, and proposes reforms to address the water aspect of that problem.
Review Quotes: "Larson believes that achieving global water security could hold the key to a wide range of contemporary problems, including inequality, discrimination, terrorism, epidemics and climate change. Each of these problems has a 'significant and underap-preciated water component', he says." -- Survival: Global Politics and Strategy
